Israeli Market Leaders in Aero-India Air-show

There is a growing demand for Israeli systems that have a double use in defense and homeland security in India. Sources said yesterday during the opening ceremony of Aero India 2013 in Bangalore.

But competition grows and that was emphasized by the words of the president of Israel aerospace industries.

“As we stand here in the Israeli booth displaying the finest technologies and systems made by Israeli companies and Israel Aerospace Industries, we witness Israel’s impressive performance and cannot help but feel pride.” Said Joseph Weiss, President & CEO of Israel Aerospace Industries, at the 2013 Aero-India opening ceremony.

“All Israeli industries operating in the Indian defense market are in stiff competition with global and leading international powers. Despite competition, many Israeli systems operate in all arms of the Indian Army. These systems use leading technologies, allowing us to enter joint ventures with Indian arms and research institutes. The basis for today’s special relationship is the close professional and personal connection existing between leading Israel Ministry of Defense officials and top defense industries.”

“I urge my colleagues in the Israeli industries to make every effort to promote cooperation. Yet when we do compete – I call for dignity and collegiality, I can assure you that we at IAI will do so,” said Joseph Weiss.
